Chapter 686       Replace the equipment

Zhu Youjian then passed the order, allowing Cao Zhengchun to even pass it to Huangming Island and Luzon at the fastest speed.

The Ding King Zhu Cijiong and Yu Qian were asked to draw 20,000 Ming army troops in the shortest time and send people to lead them to Japan to participate in the battle.

Cao Zhengchun received the order and led a team of five people to rush to Nanhai Province immediately.

"Your Majesty, we cannot watch the Ming army attack Japan, I ask for a fight..."

Huang Degong, Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo, Qi Jiguang, Zhang Huangyan and others all asked for the fight, and even Xia Wanchun felt itchy palms.

Looking at these powerful generals under his command, Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:

"It will definitely be futile to attack Japan, relying solely on the North Korean and Ming dynasties. Don't worry, I have my own arrangements.

Longteng Army, Longqi Army, Qi Family Army, Xin Army, Shenji Camp, you will immediately go to the martial arts field to test new weapons."

"Abide by the order"

At the order of Zhu Youjian, several important troops from the Ming Dynasty rushed to the martial arts field.

Of course, all soldiers will not be in place. Just send small flags, general flags, general flags, hundreds of households, and thousands of households.

The Ming army has now been restructured, and the garrison troops have long become a thing of the past, but the official positions of hundreds of households and thousands of households are still preserved.

The hundred households do not own the previous hundred households, but directly manage and command one hundred soldiers. The same is true for thousands of households, becoming commanders of thousands of people.

Zhu Youjian did not reorganize the army like later generations, and the Ming army still maintained the Ming Dynasty system.

Three models of mortars, 28 consecutive manual muskets, grenades and rockets, have been transported to the training ground.

Most of the soldiers did not come to the martial arts field, but the number of officers still reached thousands.

Seeing an iron rack with a firearm with six barrels on it, Huang Degong walked over.

"What kind of firearm is this? Is so many barrels useful?"

Next to each new weapon, engineers from the Ming Weapon Manufacturing Bureau were present, and they were responsible for introducing the soldiers how to use firearms and precautions.

Standing next to Shizhen's magic gun was Zixuan, a young expert from the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Seeing that Huang Degong was interested in the multi-tube firearm in front of him, Zixuan smiled slightly:

"Mr. Marquis, this is a firearm invented by Lord Zhao. The emperor named the Shizhen magic gun, which was shot 28 times in a row, but it requires manual shooting."

Huang Degong opened his mouth and looked at Zixuan in disbelief:

"How is it possible? If you can really send 28 consecutive shots, don't talk about manual operations. Even if you use your feet, I will have to equip a thousand units to let me try it."

Huang Degong said, and reached out to shake the handle of Shizhen's magic gun. He thought Zixuan was joking with him.

"Mr. Marquis, wait!"

Zixuan reached out to stop Huang Degong, and the two turned the Shizhen magic gun into an unmanned direction, then loaded the bullet and opened the security.

"Mr. Marquis, give it a try!"

"Oh, then give it a try!"

Huang Degong reached out and grabbed the handle of Shizhen's magic gun and turned it carefully:

"Dadada..."

Suddenly, a fierce gunshot came, and Shizhen's magic gun instantly fired six bullets out, and a burst of smoke and dust splashed from the gun target in the distance.

"My mother, there is such a powerful artifact..."

The Shizhen magic gun suddenly started, which scared Huang Degong. He screamed and took two steps back.

“Come again…”

However, after reacting, Lao Huang was ecstatic and rushed up to grab Shizhen's magic gun's hand and shook it directly for two weeks.

"Dadada..."

With a fierce gunshot, the remaining twenty-two bullets were fired in more than a dozen breaths.

More than a dozen bullets hit the target, making more than a dozen holes.

After being shocked, Lao Huang was as happy as a child, running quickly towards Zhu Youjian and shouting:

"Your Majesty, the Longteng Army needs to equip two thousand-man teams..."

Zhu Youjian looked at Huang Degong with a crazy face:

"The bullets are made of copper, equipped with two thousand-man teams? Do you know what the concept?"

Yes, the Ming Dynasty lacks copper, the Shizhen magic gun is equivalent to the weakened version of Gatlin, and shaking the handle is equivalent to throwing silver.

If it were before, the Ming Dynasty would not have afforded the Shizhen magic gun.

However, after the recovery of Luzon and Ceylon, the situation completely changed.

Luzon and Ceylon copper mines can allow Shizhen's magic gun to be fired without restrictions, but the first thing to do is to build the Shizhen magic gun.

Although Huang Degong was a rude man, he also knew how serious the consumption of Shizhen's magic gun was.

Under Zhu Youjian's reminder, Huang Degong smiled and touched his head, and then bowed deeply to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, it's okay to equip the Longteng Army with a thousand-person team. With this magical tool, a thousand-person team can defeat 100,000 enemies."

Zhu Youjian was so angry that he glared at Huang Degong:

"I think it's beautiful. A military can only be equipped with twenty such firearms. I'm not stingy, but I really have no goods now."

"Twenty is not bad, I thank you long live my emperor!"

When Huang Degong was testing the Shizhen magic gun, Li Dingguo Zheng Chenggong and others also tested Maokang missiles and grenades, as well as three types of mortars that were convenient to carry.

Everyone was shocked by the power of the Maokang missile and asked to equip their troops.

Qi Jiguang was particularly fond of the improved tiger squat cannon. He kept spinning around several copper-core iron cannons, and from time to time he asked his command to set two cannons.

This tiger squat cannon weighs about 30 to 50 kilograms, mainly launches shotguns, with an effective range of 300 to 500 meters.

Not only is it easy to carry, but it is also more powerful in the near range than that of a mortar.

When the opponent charges, the role of the tiger squat cannon is much greater than that of the mortar. Large-scale dense shotgun can turn the enemy into a hornet's nest.

The earliest tiger squat cannon was originally from Qi Jiguang Daming, but now he still has some preference for this.

This kind of tiger squat cannon shell is a ball and is very convenient to load. Just stuff it into the muzzle and ignite the rear lead.

After the shells gush out of the muzzle, the foreskin will burst and the shotgun will immediately spray into a fan shape.

After several shooting tests, Qi Jiguang, who had always been unfamiliar with expression, gave Zhu Youjian a thumbs up and admired him.

Zhu Youjian backed his hands and walked back and forth to observe his trusted soldiers who had tried new weapons.

Because of confidentiality, these weapons can only be equipped by the elite army of the Ming Dynasty, and ordinary army cannot be equipped at all.

The Korean soldiers were not even equipped with rifled rifles, let alone missiles and Shizhen magic guns.

Even so, their equipment still has a great advantage compared to that of the Japanese soldiers. At this time, the Japanese soldiers were still using the Vulcan gun.

These new weapons do not require precise strikes, as long as they can be used proficiently.

After the test of advanced firearms such as Shizhen magic gun, Maokang missile, etc. was completed, Li Dingguo and others looked at the grenades.

These people often use grenades and you can tell what their function is just by looking at the shape of the grenade.

Li Dingguo bent down and grabbed a grenade and asked Zixuan:

“Is this the same way as the grenade?”

Zixuan took the grenade, pulled the lead, and threw the grenade out.

"Swoosh"

"Bang..."

After all, Zixuan was not a general and did not have that much power. The grenade landed on the ground and exploded about thirty meters.

"Marty, the purpose of His Majesty asked us to develop grenades is that the throwing distance is longer than that of grenades and has greater lethality to the enemy."

Li Dingguo looked at the grenades and thought about the grenades he usually used. He felt that there should be no difference between the two, so he said:

"No, will this throwing distance be farther than a grenade? Let me try..."

Li Dingguo picked up a grenade again, pulled down the lead and threw it out.

"Swoosh..."

"Bang..."

The grenade flew out about fifty meters and landed on the ground and exploded.

"Oh My God……"
